'The present Schools History Project is the successor to the project funded by the Schools Council in 1972 for "History 13-16". The project suggested that: "Many teachers would find helpful a project which would provide stimulus, support and materials to help them revitalise their own practice in general and more particularly help them to encourage more pupil participation in their study of History." The Project began initially at the University of Leeds and transferred to Trinity & All Saints College in 1979, where it has been based ever since. '
